  Thousands of shooting stars(流星) provided(提供) a dazzling(使人眩目的) light show that amazed veteran(老手) and novice(新手) stargazers(看星星的人) alike(同样地) as the Leonid meteor shower(狮子座流星雨) made the moonless sky appear to rain light. At the peak(高峰) of the shower, as many as 1,250 meteors per hour streaked(使留下条痕) overhead.

  About 150 Chinese who gathered at midnight on the roof(屋顶) of a 550-year-old Ming Dynasty stone observatory(天文台) in Beijing were overjoyed(狂喜的) when the first meteor tore(撕扯) across the sky leaving an ephemeral(短暂的) fiery(燃烧的) trail in its wake(尾波).

  The meteors are called Leonids because they appear to come from the direction of the constellation Leo(狮子座). Astronomers(天文学家)expect another such shower in 2099.

  「读书笔记」

  成千上万颗流星(Thousands of shooting stars)将晴朗的夜空照耀的无比灿烂,(provided a dazzling light show)让新老天文爱好者叹为观止。(that amazed veteran and novice stargazers alike as the Leonid meteor shower made the moonless sky appear to rain light)在这场流星雨的高峰阶段,(At the peak of the shower)空中划过的流星达到每小时1250颗之多。(as many as 1,250 meteors per hour streaked overhead)

  在中国,约有150名天文爱好者(About 150 Chinese)聚集在北京一个有550年历史的明代天文台的屋顶上(who gathered at midnight on the roof of a 550-year-old Ming Dynasty stone observatory in Beijing)等待一睹流星雨的风采。当第一颗流星拖着火红的尾巴划破夜空时,(when the first meteor tore across the sky leaving an ephemeral fiery trail in its wake)人们不禁欣喜若狂。(were overjoyed)

  这些流星之所以被命名为"狮子座流星",(The meteors are called Leonids)是因为它们是从狮子星座的方向飞来的。(because they appear to come from the direction of the constellation Leo) 天文学家预测(Astronomers expect)下一次类似规模的狮子座流星雨(another such shower)将要等到2099年。

  「语法小教室」

  小词as用处多

  虽然只有两个字母组成,as却是纵横语法界的“多栖词”呢!

  1、做介词。

  介词,顾名思义,就是起“介绍”作用的词,它表示的是词与词,词与句之间的关系。比如: between(在……之间),

  The relations between the two countries has improved since then.
  两国的关系从那以后得到了改善。(between把relations和the two countries联系在了一起。)

  as做介词,意思是“作为”:

  He doesn't like people treat him as a child.
  他不喜欢人们把他当小孩子对待。

  (而且,在翻译时,介词的含义通常是隐含其中,不必特别指出。)

  2、做连词。

  跟介词类似,连词的作用也是充当“桥梁”,不同的是,连词不只连接词与词、词组与词组,还能把句子与句子连接起来。

  本文的第一句话:Thousands of shooting stars provided a dazzling light show that amazed veteran and novice stargazers alike as the Leonid meteor shower made the moonless sky appear to rain light.就包含as这个连词,它引导的句子你找到了吗?对了,就是as the Leonid meteor shower made the moonless sky appear to rain light.

  再来看几个含有as的句子,请你辨认一下,哪一个是介词,那一个是连词,好吗?

  As he wasn't ready in time,we went without him.
  因他未及时准备好,我们没有等他就走了。

  The old woman was dressed as a young lady.
  这位老妇人打扮得像一位年轻人。

  分辨出来了吗?第一句,as引导了一个句子As he wasn't ready in time,说明了我们没有等他的理由,做了这个复合句的“原因状语”,这里的as是连词;第二句,as后面跟着短语a young lady,这个as是介词。(你答对了吗?)

  再来看一个句子怎么样?

  He looks as ill as he sounded on the phone.
  他的样子和他在电话中说话的声音反映的病情是一样的。

  这里有两个as,怎么分辨?呵呵,别着急,等一下告诉你。

  3、做副词。

  根据我们前面的判断方法,很明显,第二个as引导了一个句子as he sounded on the phone,所以它是“连词”。He looks as…这里,look是动词,as作为修饰动词的词,也就是“副词”,意思是“同样,一样”。(当然,如果实在很难懂,不必强记,了解as也可以做副词即可。)

  再来看一个例子,体会一下:

  He recited as much of the poem as he could remember.
  他把诗中记得住的都背诵出来了。

  (recite是动词,as…as的整个句子都是修饰它的。)

  好了,学了这么多枯燥的语法,大家一定昏昏欲睡了吧。下面的栏目中,给大家介绍一些含有as的实用说法,保证地道又形象哦!

  「资料库」

  有一种修辞方法叫“比喻”,在日常会话中适当使用,可以使我们的语言更丰富,更有情趣。今天给大家介绍一个简单实用的比喻法,as+adj.+as句式。

  这里有许多流传多年依然经久不衰的比喻,供大家参考:

  as busy as a bee忙如蜜蜂
  as black as coal黑如碳块
  as easy as ABC极为容易
  as cold as ice寒冷如冰
  as proud as a peacock像孔雀一样骄傲
  as strong as a house强壮如马
  as white as snow雪白
  as quiet as a mouse静止如鼠
  as green as grass青草般绿
  as good as gold美好如金
  as brave as a lion勇猛如雄狮
  as clear as crystal一清二楚
  as proud as a peacock 像孔雀一样骄傲
  as light as a feather 轻如鸿毛
  as silent as the grave 守口如瓶
  as solid as a rock 稳如磐石

  很多用法都和汉语“不谋而合”,呵呵,看来,虽然语言不同,但人们的思维方式还是有相似之处的,对吗?(不过,也不要太得意忘形,在使用的时候最好还是用“现成的”,免得我们“造”的句子老外听不懂,那可就尴尬了。)

  今天的节目里,我们主要介绍了一个词,就是as,讲了它诸多用法中的一小部分,希望大家各取所需,有所收获。我们下次再见!
